Need A Hand Constructing Your Model Railroad Layout? We’ve Got Your Back! And You Get A Free Lunch To Boot!!
Saturday, November 8th, 2025, 20130 Ave 336, Woodlake, CA, starting at 9:00 AM, the Daylight Division of the National Model Railroad Association, will be hosting a gathering of modelers who have been there, done that! You can learn all you need to know about constructing a model railroad layout, with instruction from modelers in the following categories:
Layout Planning
Laying Track
Installing Turnouts and Switches
Wiring the Layout and Soldering Feeders to the Track
Creating Scenery
This will not just be instructional how-to presentations, but you’ll be able to learn from actual hands-on techniques to help you up your modeling skills. We want you to learn how to do it by getting in and doing it yourself instead of watching others do it, as we figured that is the best way for you to learn.
For those who are interested, prior to the clinics, Dave Theis will have an open house for his Lionel Postwar Inspired “O” Gauge Layout from 8:00 to 8:30AM. We will also have a John Allen Timesaver layout on hand for folks to try their hand at this classic switching puzzle. This event is free to anyone who wants to attend, and you do not have to be a member of the National Model Railroad Association to attend. Lunch will be provided, and the menu will be Hot dogs, chips, and a drink. Please RSVP to Dave Theis at Pastordave.jsaw@Yahoo.com or call (559) 901-0386 if you plan to attend or if you need directions.
Remember to mark your calendars!
